Cinco de Yum-O

Flashback to my pain-in-ze-butt public speaking class where they made us watch and critique Rachel Ray’s TV presence on her show 30 Minute Meals. I, of course, sat in the back row of the lofty lecture hall but didn’t let it stop my hand from jotting up the second my professor asked for an opinion. “If she says EVOO or YUM-O one more time I’m pretty sure I might die!” Surely she didn’t disappoint, and said it a few dozen times while I watched in horror. Luckily I wasn’t prepared to off myself so close to graduation. Well played RR, well played.

That being said, let’s get on with the cliche blogger cinco de mayo post. Because, honestly, I freaking LOVE mexican food. I think just about every other recipe on here is a fiesta on a plate. But you won’t find any mystery meat or questionable processed cheese products here! No way.

I can I just say I am drooling uncontrollably now. I have been eating Mexican food non-stop for the past week. I thought I was through but now I can definitely say I can going to go right back at it. I love the veggie cups with cheese and oh those tacos. Yum-O!

Ahhh I’ve always oogled at your Mexican pizza lasagna, but I am ALL over that Fiesta Tuna this week! Oooh ooh and also the quinoa-stuffed mushrooms!! I’m suddenly craving Mexican food… good thing I’ve got all these recipes to satisfy my hunger

Perfect post for the upcoming weekend. My parents will be in town one night only – Cinco de Mayo – and are coming from my hometown where Mexican food is authentic and outnumbers all the other restaurants combined. They will be expecting something delicious, and this post will help me a ton!

HOLY CLIFFHANGER BATMAN! Seriously I’m so royally pissed at Lauren Oliver for delaying the third book for a YEAR! Can you believe it’s going to take that long!? Torture! Whatcha reading next? I love that we’re book buddies!

this is what i love about blogs: i am a) reminded of impending holiday and b) in instances when i don’t have time/inclination to tax my brain creatively the plan is laid out before me. all i have to do is pick from the pictures above, buy the food and prepare…fiesta to follow. easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.

wow, i usually bash mexican whenever I can cuz i think it’s really gross, but you have somehow managed to make it look…good enough to eat? lol. think i might! the “quiche popper cups” are def more like my style, and this way i dont feel guilty about my weight afterwards. thx =)

Ooh let me know how it is!!!! Do you order actual books or just kindle ones? B/c if you go the ebook route we should just trade/lend books back and forth at this rate! Matched is on my to-read list for sure! Ohmygosh and you HAVE GOT to read the Charley Davidson books [first grave to the right, etc…] They aren’t YA b/c they are a tad bit more.. um… colorful but I love them so flipping much! And you read Divergent already right? LOVE

Depending on how long the wait at the library is, I get hard copy. But everything I want has a long wait list, so I’ve been buying the Kindle books. We should definitely share! I have no idea how to lend or borrow, so you’ll have to help me out. I also have a few epub files on my iPhone, which I know you can transfer to the kindle, but I don’t know how. I read Divergent last month – cliff hanger ending! Have you read Insurgent yet? I might read that before Matched

I want to like Rachel Ray, but I just find her annoying. Which makes me feel a wee bit guilty because she seems like a nice person and has never done anything to me. And BTW with anyone who says EVOO I just want to roll my eyes.

I have this bizarre chipotle enchilada dish that I love. my college roommate scribbled it down from a TV show she was watching, and she didn’t get all the ingredients or steps written down, but to date I still make it with only what she wrote – and LOVE it.

Her magazine is fan-tas-tic!!! And I agree, she seems super sweet and I love her…. but absolutely loathe her! I think its her voice/verbage that drives me up the wall. Though I have a really weird voice… and my vocab is nutty…. so maybe i’m just as bad =) haha
